I am Sun Kyeong Yu (유선경), a professor of Philosophy and a faculty member of the Cognitive Science Program at Minnesota State University, Mankato. I was trained as a molecular biologist for ten years before I changed my major to philosophy. My research covers the philosophy of biology, the philosophy of science, the philosophy of mind, cognitive science, and Buddhist philosophy.
